Pakistan Cricket Broad chief Ijaz Butt has alleged Chris Broad’s claims that there had been a change in security arrangements ahead of Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Lahore were ‘fabricated’.

Broad, who was acting as the International Cricket Council’s match referee during the series, was caught in the crossfire of an ambush as the match officials and Sri Lanka players made their way to the Gaddafi Stadium for the third day of the second Test with Pakistan.

The former England batsman said yesterday the security offered to the officials was lax – claims supported by match umpires Simon Taufel and Steve Davis earlier today – but Butt dismissed his points out of hand.
